@SwagII ... Welcome ...
Thanks for joining us and sharing!
I don't think I've had the pleasure of speaking to you yet ...
You present a sad topic, but one that is deserving of discussion.
It may encourage one to stop victimizing or being victim to such.
Thinking about your questions, it's probably poor self esteem / self worth / little confidence in self for all involved.
A man has to feel pretty low about his own self, to beat up on a woman, and likewise, she must feel the same to allow it.
It could be that they feel they have no options, afraid to venture out beyond the experience they know.
I've not personally experienced this, so it's not fair to act as if I know the answers ... I do not.
Maybe those who have, who escaped it, changed their behavior can share on the topic.
There may even be some caught up in it now, wishing for a place to talk it out, that will join in.
I do wish them all freedom from such a harrowing experience.
Even for the men, with Mothers and Sisters and such, it has to kill a part of their own self / soul.
I remember promising my GrandMother years ago, because women in my own Family have experienced such ... I promised that while I may not be able to keep a man from hitting me once, he would never hit me twice. I have lived up to this promise.
It's a hard one though, this topic, the whys ... I'm sure they are very far reaching.
Thanks for being here.
Loving Us!
